US Ambassador Kushner Engages with French Jewish Teens on Antisemitism Challenges
US Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, held a private meeting with Jewish teenagers from across France to discuss the challenges they face in public schools due to antisemitism. The meeting, held at the ambassador's residence in Paris, involved nine members of CTeen France, a global Jewish teen network. The teenagers shared their experiences of hiding their Jewish identity and the rise in antisemitic incidents, particularly following the October 7 massacre. The discussion highlighted the persistent antisemitism in France, where Jewish students often feel isolated and targeted. The meeting aimed to provide a platform for these teenagers to voice their concerns and seek support.
